Menus

Welcome to Proof, a wine-centric restaurant serving Modern American cuisine
in the heart of Washington, DC. Proof showcases
the best local, organic and sustainable ingredients in clean, beautiful, preparations,
as well as an extensive international selection of cheese and charcuterie.

The wine program pays homage to the old world as well as the new, with
an extensive selection of Rhone varietals and Bordeaux classics offered
alongside a comprehensive collection of California "cult" Cabernets
and Australian reds. Proof's extensive wines by the glass program includes
16 whites and 16 reds dispensed by a stunning, stainless steel Enomatic
machine from Italy.

The space, designed by Grizform
Design,
also blends old world charm and modern panache, as exposed brick walls, a custom
French pewter bar, Jerusalem stone, and antique Chinese chests mingle seamlessly
with wide-plank walnut floors, Bisazza tiled bathrooms, Italian leather
seating and European lighting fixtures. In a nod to its neighbor, the
National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian
American Art Museum, Proof rotates
hundreds of images from the museum's collection on four flat-screen plasma
monitors positioned above the bar.
